Chapter 693 - The Fourth Form Of Slapping Oneself In The Face, Close Reasoning (1/2)
Seeing how excited the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was, Lord Zhang knew he had placed the right bet, and replied instantly, “They’re outside, I’ll ask my men to bring them in right now.” Lord Zhang glared at the official beside him. “Hurry up and bring the criminals in now!”
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was so happy that there was a clue that could solve the case. “How did you capture the criminals, Lord Zhang? This case has been giving me a headache for the past few days.”
Lord Zhang wanted to recommend his son to the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, thus he patted Zhang Yu’s shoulder. “It was all because of my second son. He has been a clever boy since he was young, and this time it was him who noticed something suspicious, which allowed me to capture the criminals.”
“Oh?” The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs settled his gaze on Zhang Yu, then praised him courteously, “What a young genius.”
Zhang Yu was flattered by the compliment, and although he said that it was nothing, he had a wide grin on his face. This incident was indeed a blessing in disguise that he had found two scapegoats. Who knows, he might even get a raise in his official career, since the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs had commended him.
Lord Li did not notice the intentions of the Zhang father and son, as his mind was filled with the joy of cracking the case, and he could finally give an explanation to His Highness and the Princess Consort…
While the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was thinking about these things with his head bowed, the officer who had just went out brought in two people. Their hands were cuffed together with a long metal chain, but it did not affect the charisma of the two people. They appeared casual with an inherently subtle n.o.bility, nothing like arrested criminals.
Lord Zhang opted to remind the Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs, “Lord Li, the criminals have been brought in.”
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs pulled himself out of his deep thoughts, and glanced towards the wooden door.
The moment he saw the appearance of those two people, the Secretary widened his eyes as he jumped up from his wooden chair. His violent reaction caused him to spit out the tea that he had just drank!
“Your High…” Before the Secretary finished his words, he suddenly recalled the order of the Third Princess Consort, and he gulped his words back forcefully. A single thought echoed in his mind as he trembled at the sight of the icy metal chain.
d.a.m.n it, this Zhang guy should go to h.e.l.l on his own!
Why must he drag me along!
Does he know what kind of moronic thing he has done?!
How dare he tied up the Third Prince!
What’s more, he brought him to the Li Manor!
In that moment, all the Secretary wanted to do was cry!
His eyes looked at Baili Jia Jue’s side profile that was perfect to the point of making one abstinent, desperately shouting in his heart, Your Highness, I’m innocent, you must believe my loyalty toward you!
